Quick Guide for Program Rooms

Television

Power and input (source) selection is done with the single button at the back of the TV, bottom left corner. A television remote is not necessary for operating as all configurations are pre-set.

When TV off: Press the power/input button at the back of the left side of the TV to turn on (LED on front bottom left corner of TV should illuminate).

When TV on: Press the power/input button to switch sources. Press and hold power/input button to turn off TV (LED on front bottom left corner of TV should turn off).

Available sources:

HDMI-1: HDMI Jack – use when plugging an HDMI device into the front panel below the television. Spare cable is stored in cabinet

HDMI-2: WirelessDV – use when wireless mirroring is required from an iDevice, Android, or Windows 8.1 tablet device. If connecting using a wireless device, see “Wireless Device Mirroring Instructions” on reverse.

HDMI-4: VGA Jack – use when plugging a VGA source into the front panel below the TV. The audio cable must be connected even if no audio is needed. VGA with Audio cable is stored in cabinet.

COMP: Composite – use when plugging in a source that uses the Yellow, Red, White cables into the front panel below the television.

Volume: Is pre-set so adjust volume from the device rather than the TV.

IT Equipment

All IT equipment is stored on the left side of the cabinet. You shouldn’t need to open that side up at all except to plug in a power source. The power bar is located on the bottom rack of the left side.

Right side of the cabinet is free to place any items needed. Spare cables (HDMI and VGA with Audio) and remote stored here.
